How long did you stare at those dirty pictures in order to ascertain that?

Proper government conspiracies used to *mean something* in the US, God damn it! Time was there were break-ins (called ‘em ‘third-rate,’ but they were first-class all the way), off-book juntas, plausibly deniable coups, even exploding Cuban cigars. Now? ****, son.

Why MAGA Republicans and Elon Musk are so adamant that people be able to post photos of Hunter’s johnson is something that should probably be explored with their respective preachers or psychiatrists, but it is certainly not a matter for constitutional scholars or litigators. While Mr. Lisbon from the Virgin Suicides may derive a depraved type of happiness from publishing pictures of other people’s genitals on a private company’s public bulletin board without the approval of those pictured, the First Amendment does not bestow upon him the right to prevent the company from taking down the offending material. To sum up what we learned: Big penis, little news, First Amendment not under threat. Nice try, troll, but companies can do what they want.

"Consolidated Silver Mining Co. v. Pennsylvania – 125 U.S. 181 (1888), the Court clearly affirmed the doctrine, holding, "Under the designation of 'person' there is no doubt that a private corporation is included [in the Fourteenth Amendment]. Such corporations are merely associations of individuals united for a special purpose and permitted to do business under a particular name and have a succession of members without dissolution."[17] This doctrine has been reaffirmed by the Court many times since.[citation needed] The 14th Amendment does not insulate corporations from all government regulation, any more than it relieves individuals from all regulatory obligations. Thus, for example, in Northwestern Nat Life Ins. Co. v. Riggs (203 U.S. 243 (1906)), the Court accepted that corporations are for legal purposes "persons", but still ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment was not a bar to many state laws which effectively limited a corporation's right to contract business as it pleased."

But you are right about one thing. Private companies can do what they want. And that is what Musk is doing. Don't like it, well that is to bad.

As I asked before would it make some huge difference in the political landscape in United States these revelations of a certain mans laptop.
I was told no-These released stuff was already known-Well some if not most of it was kind of new to me. Had Musk any hopes for some reaction in USA after the release of these Twitter Files ? Markus

I for one am not making that argument. Twitter as a private entity could do what ever they want. Just because it was legal doesn't make it right from a political point of view. The evidence is quite clear. Members of the Biden team, leftwing MSM and certain Twitter employees worked together to suppress a story that could have had an effect on the 2020 election. Even when some people at Twitter and a Democrat politician, Ro Khanna question this they went ahead and did it anyway. And again I stress that they had the right to do it. The fact that a new owner who doesn't have the same political taste is uncovering this now because he can seems to have gotten some people's shorts in a knot. Why? Is what is being revealed untrue? He and others are using the employees own words to make the case. I do not understand why people are upset about this?

I'm still unsure what people are hoping to find on Hunter Biden's laptop.
